Description
|
|
•
|
BesselJ and BesselY are the Bessel functions of the first and second kinds, respectively. They satisfy Bessel's equation:
|
•
|
BesselI and BesselK are the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds, respectively. They satisfy the modified Bessel equation:
|
•
|
HankelH1 and HankelH2 are the Hankel functions, also known as the Bessel functions of the third kind. They also satisfy Bessel's equation, and are related to BesselJ and BesselY by
